I agree, and the fact that they told her that perhaps she needed to put some lotion on for the itch upsets me so much. I remember when I went to the hospital and told them that I feel pain in my entire body and that something was very wrong, the doctor told me, Oh, your young, maybe you need a vacation or something." Still yrs later, no one can tell me why my body is in pain, and they say, "Oh, I am not too concerned about it." No, because you aren't the one with Joint pains every day. I am the one suffering everyday. The lady is this video had to do her own research to find out she had cancer, who knows where she'd be today if she hadn't helped herself. It's so scary.
She did not diagnose herself. She had nonspecific symptoms which match a myriad of illnesses in a differential diagnosis list. An oncologist is the only one who can diagnose cancer if we're strictly talking about evidence-based medicine.
@@xaviergough9359 You talk so much like those who pushed the "safe and effective" . And, just like them, you are wrong. The so-called "evidence" in medicine is too often a set of rigid rules that do not take into account the specifics of every individual. No doctor will EVER know more about a patient's body than the patients themselves.
t's not just in the medical profession that people are incompetent today all professions have become incompetent people are just there to make money they no longer have professional skills those days are over
My mom was 43 with 3 kids when she diagnosed with leukemia in 1994. They gave her less than 5 years. She said the first thing she did was pray to god and imagine that the meds worked and she was in remission. She turns 74 in February, has schizophrenia and blood clots in her heart, needs all her teeth removed, and says she wants to live as long as she can for us. There's power in positive thinking. Bless this beautiful young lady for her mindset and strength!
My God so brave this child. Earth is hell, we are all doing Time, until we get paroled to our real home, far removed from this hellish reality. May you somehow get a miracle and live a long beautiful Life.
When I lived in Iran, I got a stomach ulcer at 19 yo. As soon as I entered the doctor’s office and said “hi”, he looked at me and said “you are having internal bleeding!You probably have a stomach ulcer”. Literally just by looking at my face he knew what was wrong with me!!! Needless to say, he later confirmed it with an endoscopy. But since I came to Canada, I have been brushed off by doctors many times because they are so incompetent. They failed to diagnose a HUGE uterine fibroid which was as big as a melon! How do you miss that?!!! 🤣 I ended up going to Iran to have the operation to remove it. Yeah here is the “advanced medical system” we have in the West. I now diagnose myself before going to my appointment and just use the doctor to either write me a prescription or the diagnostic tests that I think that I need to confirm my diagnosis 😂
Anyone for that matter! But in the USA one has to be at stage 4 anything for a diagnosis. Too many variables like insurance levels $$$, the state one lives in, access to a real dr. who cares !
I had a history of heart disease. Nothing that pr healthcare suggested worked. I read a book 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett. The way it broke down the connection between lifestyle and heart disease finally made things click for me. A year later, my cholesterol is under control, and I feel stronger than ever. Don’t lose hope!
Hmmm? more and more actual competent research is finding that cholesterol isn't the cause. If I remember correctly, cholesterol is vital for your spine, brain cells and hormones.
Thank you for sharing your journey. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma at 25. I was only 2 years old. Treatment in the 60's was Cobalt and radiation. It was brutal. She came to the point where she could've tolerate the treatments. She prayed that God would let her survive to raise the 3 children He had given her. She begged for 15 years. She lived till she was 69 years old. She was the best mom and blessed her grandchildren as the best Nanny! ❤❤
My husband had Hodgkins at age 42. He had night sweats and was so weak and tired. He was diagnosed with stage 5 Hodgkins. The doctor said he had tumors ON his spinal column but not IN his spinal column, and she said that is what saved him. He received hefty doses of chemo, but 21 years later, he is alive.
As a nurse I have noticed that doctors are too busy typing into their computers to pay attention to you. I have to advocate for myself as far as my labs, diagnostic tests and meds.
They never stop listen to your heart lungs like back in the days even your intestines they would if it’s moving fine not now I had to tell them to please check my neck it’s always giving me an electric socks all the way down my chest my back hurts my shoulder even under my armpit have a cough for a month already, when back this new doctor did check everything I told her
I know! I feel more like I'm in the room with a courtroom stenographer than being there with my doctor. I've literally told her to STOP writing every little word I say and listen to me!
I'm a retired nurse who has seen and heard stories similar to yours when a physician dismisses prevalent symptoms. Continue telling your story so others know to persist in getting a proper diagnosis. Bless you, dear one. ❤
Similar situation with me, I had stage 4 inoperable head and neck cancer. I visited my family doctor for a year with same complaints of difficult to swallow and slight ear ache that never went away. Doctor checked my throat and ears took out some wax and said I didn’t have much room in my throat but it’s normal. After my 4th visit I left and the next day made an appointment with an ear nose and throat specialist and he diagnosed me within 5 minutes and made appointment next day for biopsy. I had a tumor the size of a medium egg at the base of my tongue and lymph nodes were swollen in my neck. God saved me six years out 🙏
You have been given a second chance to make your heaven .watch Dr zakir naik for true religion to follow to go to heaven after this eternal life of maximum 80 yrs😢
My daughter had Hodgkin Lymphoma at 19 right after college. She is a survivor and her life is blessed. You are quite the young lady and I wish you many many blessings . XOXO
After being misdiagnosed for 3 years, my niece at the age of 40 died within 4 months, after eventually being diagnosed with stage 4 Mycosis Fungoides, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During the years that she was misdiagnosed she had multiple blood tests, scans, PET scan and biopsy’s, all of which apparently showed nothing…. She was also suffering from severe itching all over her body, and was being given various creams to use. I now have zero faith in the medical profession. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you many years of good health and enjoyment in your life. You are a very strong young lady!
How did they finally figure out what your niece has? I’m having the same thing, all over body itchy, back pain, fatigue, labs is good, scan doesn’t show anything. Dermatologist just say I have eczema, but lotion just make me itch even more.
My cousin was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 29 in 1984 when they weren’t that hopeful. She underwent many surgeries, developed other types of cancers (bladder, thyroid), became a diabetic from one of the meds, but she was able to continue her career, met a great guy & got married. She lived a good life for 40 more years! We lost her this year at age 69, but it was far longer than anyone expected. ❤️
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This girl is an attention seeker who can literally turn off her immune system whenever she wants to.
N O such thing as...Healthcare! It is actually a marketing bias for insurance companies that is a huge pharmaceutical industry for shareholders under an umbrella of medical supervision.
Years ago, my almost 16 year old son was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. He was initially told he had asthma. He had a Hickman line. It was rough. Now he’s almost forty, and very healthy.
@ He coughed a lot and was short of breath. He had no energy. When the asthma medication wasn’t working, a smart doctor decided to X-ray his chest. The whole area was a mass of tumors. The doctors predicted that he would eventually develop asthma, but so far, he’s avoided it.
My son in 2001 was diagnosed the same. He was 18 years old. Now he is 42, married with a beautiful little 3 year old daughter called Summer. He e lapsed three times in the first five years and ended up having a stem cell transpant. From 2006 he was getting stronger and has been cancer free now for nearly 20 years. A miracle but it shows how it can be beat. He was lucky as it took time for doctors discovered it but one day one went oh my and then the treatment began. I wish you well.going forward as you seem a really strong lovely young lady. Sending you positive vibes and good wishes.
Praise God for your son's healing! My nephew had a lump on his neck - Hodgkins. He went through chemo two times and the doctor suggested a Stem Cell transplant. That was a huge WOW moment, but pretty much guaranteed it would never come back. He used his own cells (another WOW moment) and is doing very well raising his twins with his wife. "We are fearfully and wonderfully made"!
My daughter had stage 1 also 2 xmas’s ago . Same very itchy and terrible night sweats ….. she had chemo for 3 months and so far it has not returned, I hope it never does. But it’s a worry. My daughter is now 43 and also has seizures from epilepsy, some people have bad luck she was told …. 😢 I hope your son never has to go through it again , as I wish the same for my daughter also….. 🙏🙏
You’re incredible. Oncology nurse for most of my career, I can say it’s people like you who kept me going and believing. It was an honor to care for every single patient. Thinking of the ones we lost and those like you who keep us hoping. Thank you for being such a bright light.
I had 7 months of itching before being diagnosed with Stage 2b Hodgkin's at 35. During that time, my dermatologist had suggested it could be Hodgkin's, and my primary care doctor ran the bloodwork, but it was normal. Finally a swollen lymph node in my neck became visible while I was having extreme fatigue and night sweats, and they biopsied it and diagnosed me. I'm glad you're doing well!
My sister had lumps all over and could not gain wait. Two doctors said she could feel the lumps just because she was so thin. Of coure, she had stage 4 cancer. the incompetence in the health care system is unbelievable.
Now Trump appointed anti-science RFK, Jr. And snake oil salesman M. OZ to lead US Healthcare. Hopefully, we are not going to be diagnosed with cancer or need any serious treatments in next 4 years. 😮😮😮
Doctors are not gods.. the lymphoma Hodgkin or non Hodgkin have a lot of mixed symptoms, in any part of the body due to the lymphatic system.. some may appear as asthma or swollen extremities, even hair loss can be a symptom.. is not easy to diagnose that.. you go through the easiest diagnosis to the worst for obvious reasons
Same here last year I had horrible pain under my right rib, next to my liver. I went to see different doctors, they ordered different types of scanning and couldn't find anything. I went to google and searched for my self, and got to the conclusion that I had gallbladder stones. At the same time I got a shingles break out, because of all the stress caused by the gallbladder pain. I asked the doctor to prescribe me something for the shingles, to easy the pain and discomfort, he didn't. I called my sister in Costa Rica and she told me to ask the doctor to prescribe me a medication that is used for herpes. I called the doctor, and spoke to the nurse I told her that I was so mad, because I had been miserable in so much pain for a week with the shingles and that my doctor don't know what to prescribe. I demanded him to send an order to my pharmacy and take his profession very seriously 😅 I got my prescription and a few days later I got better; it helped stop the shingles spreading more. I don't know what is wrong with the doctors in this country. The only thing they know is charge our health insurance for killing their patients 😢
I see why the Lord has kept you here to do his work ! You are beautiful not only on the outside, but on the inside as well ! Thank you for sharing ! GODSPEED in your healing ! 👍🥰
This story made me feel so much less alone! My symptoms (large swollen left supraclavicular lymph node, itching, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats) started in February of 2023(end of my junior year) The doctor told me I had bartonella of all things! I had a gut feeling it was lymphoma all along, but felt dismissed. Things continued to get worse until November of 2023 I developed a fever and could hardly function from fatigue and back pain. I was sent to a larger hospital until eventually ending up in the children's oncology floor of a hospital 4 hours from home and finally diagnosed with stage 3 hodgkins lymphoma in multiple organs and wrapped around my spine. After months of treatment and hospital rooms, I can finally say I've been cancer free since March and am now graduated, married, working, and living a life I love. Recovery is a long road but God has gotten me through it. Thank you so much for sharing your story❤️
Hello Baby Girl! I’m a 62 year old bedridden Granny, who lives here in Waco too! I’m in a good place being bedridden, where I devote my life to prayer & praising our Lord Jesus Christ! I’m honored to put you on my prayer list and pray for your health and healing! As I said before I’m bedridden due to disease progression, but I have lived a full life! It’s not the same as being sick at 20! You have such a great attitude and strong faith! So I welcome you to Waco and look forward to seeing the Miracles that our Lord will bring to your life! Blessings and Favor! Shalom! ❤️From a Texas Granny

The incompetence of the medical community is staggering...I've also witnessed it with both my mother and father. I'm a 65 year old female and haven't gone to a doctor for years. I do not want to go into the "system". I'm so sorry for what you have been through.
Im 51 and have avoided doctors as much as possible for the past ten or 20 years too. cannot stand the giant medical complex..."a giant festering tumor in the arse of america" as someone said haha
I have been dealing with a movement disorder for over 20 years. Been to several major, well known hospitals/facilities. Just told good luck. No diagnosis, no treatment. I have use of no fingers, wrists, elbows or legs. But, you know, good luck, have a good life by so many well known doctors. Ridiculous!
They took a year and a half to diagnose my Hodgkins Disease, I went from doctor to doctor, all of whom came up with all sorts of wrong diagnosis. My Gp finally noticed a lump in my kneck, and a few days later Hodkins Disease was diagnosed. The chemo and radiation was terrible and had a severe psychological effect on me, which I took years to fully recover from. That was 43 years ago, and it never came back. I am now 72 and have lived a full and enjoyable life, I am so grateful to those doctors all those years ago.
Of course, if you bring an idea to your doctor, they will be the first to dismiss it, because their egos are so large, there isn’t much room in their heads for others’ ideas. Pitiful. Glad you’re okay.
What you said is so important because at my hospital we can get our records after we've seen the doctor and I always do and I have diagnosed all the problems I had from the covid vaccine and due to the fact that it was me who diagnosed them and me who saw them he doesn't even write it down. It's really bad because when I make a reference to another doctor I might see as to something that occurred to me what it was how it was solved he says there's no record of that in my medical records. God is going to become extremely aware that his ego was so big that my primary care doctor would never put down anything that I diagnosed and solved. That is criminal literally because there's no record of it and later doctors have no understanding that what I'm saying is actually true that it occurred and that actually is probably involved with what's occurring with me right then and there in their office. I always get a big feeling if they somewhat trust me because they know how doctors egos are so huge that unless they discover it they won't note it. But nevertheless I have no medical record of any of it.
@@christinecraft8890 What most, if not all of these personal testimonies have in common is the concurrent psychological trauma of navigating the western medicine system. Story after story include tales of patients being dismissed, treatment being deferred bc patients self-report of symptoms aren’t taken seriously only to have disease progress, and a suspicious amount of women having probably the toughest time being taken seriously. Medical training today is a business of turning out “hacks”, and not “critical thinkers”. So, this isn’t a matter of not utilizing medicine vs self-treating. I don’t know where you got that from. Rather, these stories provide “a wake up call”, to the greedy industrial complex of western medicine to maybe put patients first instead of profit. I’m not sure you synthesized these main themes from these personal and vulnerable stories.
From a doctor diagnosing someone as simply being anemic to a test proving she had stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma is a pretty major leap. Almost a criminal primary diagnosis if you ask me. Truly an incredible story!
I have been dealing with very similar. Primary & rheumatologist say 🤷♀️. Ok…then what is wrong with me. Figure it out. It shouldn’t be my responsibility to say “ok, what’s the next step” or to search the Internet & read medical white pages. I’m almost 50, wake with joint aches (hands, feet & knees primarily). Had handle/wrist & foot/ankle ultra sound to check for arthritis. None. I have narcolepsy & take adderall; 3 times a day (total daily mg consumed is 68.75 mg). This morning I took my first 25 mg dose & 30 min later could physically not keep my eyes open so took a 1-1/2 hr nap. Took my second 25 mg dose around 1:00 pm & was so completely exhausted, couldn’t keep eyes open so took another 1+ hour nap. I get approx 7+ hrs sleep every night. My skin is constantly itchy esp upper back around the shoulder blades. Upper back is the most intense, all consuming itching I have ever had. Worse than shingles. It’s ALWAYS in the exact same area & it feels really deep (not surface itch). I’ve been told it’s prob a fascia bound area but I get a 90 min therapeutic myofascial release massage every 2-3 weeks; been doing that for the past 10 yrs. NOT a feel good spa massage. I have swollen lymph nodes under my jaw line & I’ve been anemic in blood work the last 3 years. I take iron pills daily.
I think that it's not bad that they initially diagnosed her with that, the problem is they didn't do the tests earlier to rule it out sooner. It is a massive failure that she was a textbook case of symptoms after that the doctors disregarded and then looped back to anaemia despite medication not being effective at that point and acting like there was no alternative.
My son was diagnosed with mononucleosis,cysts, cat scratch syndrome and tuberculosis before finally 6 months later finding out he had stage 2 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma at 6 years old. He went through 2 years of chemotherapy. He had all the symptoms of non Hodgkin so I was confused as to why he was misdiagnosed for so long by so many doctors. But I’m still so thankful to his health care team. Wonderful people ❤❤He’ll be turning 25 in a few months and is doing amazing ❤
Did you get the COVID-19 vaccine and if “yes”, did u get any boosters? i’m doing research for a written piece I’m doing on the connection between the COVID-19 vaccine and Different types of cancer
@@1timeslime971 coincidence is not causation. You want to look at the causes of cancer you should look at the pesticides and herbicide and other toxic chemicals we eat and breathe. There was also radon all over.
Why - so they can train you to be like them! - thats what killed the christians, all religions for that - the colleges churning out pancakes like them (c&p!)... when the point was empower people to be own light - this was the message from above! Same story here - food is your medicine, medicine your food... our ancestors lived to 100 without meds..., bar deadly animal attacks and new pathogens they were fine..
So sorry for your cancer. I had breast cancer in 2005 and still going strong. I'll say a prayer for you. I know being a Christian myself you have nothing to fear. Heaven is waiting for us. Stay strong and know you are being prayed for by so many. Staying positive helped me a lot. I know it's hard getting through the treatments. I'm praying for you❤❤
My daughter was diagnosed with same at age 2. The doctors here in a ER in New York moved fast. I thank God to the first doctor I went to told me to take her to the ER and after that she basically never left the hospital until til she started treatment. She is 8 almost 9 now. 🙏🏽
Same for my friend. He 25 and literally had the same symptoms as you, including the back pain. Spent months getting seen and no one could figure it out because they kept trying to only look at his symptoms individually, rather than group them together. He got a new job, new insurance and switched doctors and they figured it out right away. It was so sad. Thankfully, he survived.
It's because the older generation thinks that young people can't get sick. They think young people should just "suck it up" when they're in pain. I usually hear.."Wait until you get to be my age, then you'll really be in pain."
My sister was dismissed as well, for a year for lymphoma. She recovered. My other sister was dismissed for a year for lung cancer. She is not alive any longer. Doctors need to do better.
Did she get the COVID-19 vaccine and if the answer is yes did you get boosters and how many I’m collecting data on VM stories of people that got cancer or lymphoma 6 to 12 months after being vaccinated with Covid vaccine
@@1timeslime971times1, is really important the work that you're doing. I believe I had lymphoma following the covid vaccine but my doctor refuses to acknowledge it. I eat a really clean diet and I increase my ability to clean up my life in terms of my diet my sleep etc and it finally went away. In those days no one was even going to the hospital unless they had covid so I did it all by myself. And many other things that resulted from the covid vaccine again I did them all by myself in terms of diagnosis and resolution. My doctor refuses to acknowledge the fact that I had any of the problems I said and that I saw them as well. That's the arrogance and the ignorance of the medical profession. Keep up the good work
@1timeslime971 i had the booster and a few months later I had polycythemia vera a blood cancer....i have had one health issue after health issue after 2 shots and a booster. My work made me get the shots.
Listen to your bodies ,you know it best! I was diagnosed aged 42 ,no classic symptoms but i had a grape sized soft painless lump in one groin, after many tests,scans,biopsies ,i was diagnosed with stage 4 advanced to bone marrow non hodgkins Lymphoma,there are 100 sub types of this and mine is incurable but ive been fighting 8 years so far. I wish you all the very best.💜
@shirliestratton7790 Thank you very much. 🙏 It's not been an easy ride for sure, i lost my mother as a child, she was 42 with 3 young children,she had cancer then my sister died at 42 and my dad, then i got diagnosed but each one of us all had different cancers.. Unreal! 😢
I'm sure I speak for everyone who watched your story, that you are wise beyond your age. I believe God has a plan for all of us, and your time was not finished here. Praying that you stay positive and shine your inspiration on everyone. Good luck! 🩷
Totally agree. She’s wise beyond her years, so emotionally intelligent & wise & has a truly beautiful & engaging personality. I’m sure she’s destined for great things. A truly special girl!
I wish she wise beyond her age, but I don’t believe there is a God. If there is one, it is a masochistic God to allow the suffering of the animals and the children on this planet and standby and do nothing.
I’ve read that roughly 95% of cancer patients that are in remission struggle with the fear of the cancer returning. I haven’t made it to remission yet, but praying it’s on the way!
Many of us don't worry about it returning. You have to live your life like nothing happened and don't give it another thought. When you are in remission think of yourself as cured! I am a 22 year breast cancer survivor and I do not consider myself in remission I consider myself cured!
Fastest way to free cancer cells! Lot of sun, no sugar drink herbal teas, clove tea dandelion teas ect. Fast no food for 2 weeks straight no sugar at all for 30 days! Do your reasearch and meditate .
My friend beat colon cancer. But, she always said that when you have had cancer, a part of you always waits for it to come back. Glad you are living your life! 👏
You and I have a similar story...I ended up getting a stem cell transplant 2 years after my diagnosis. Now I am 14 years and have been declared cured. I pray for your health! I kept a smile on my face and I am so proud of you for your strength!
I have no words to describe my reaction to this. You have been remarkably strong and resilient. Your story really shows how important it is to advocate for your health. You are teaching this 64 year old some improtant lessons today. Thank you!!
My daughter at 16 was diagnosed also with stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She had an enlarged lymph node by her collar bone. Took her to the pediatrician who said it was from a cold. Fast forward 6mos, 4 office visits and a demand for labs and a chest X-ray and we end up at CHOP, she had a mass in her chest. 6 months of hell passed and she is now a very healthy 23yr old.
One of my triplets has had swollen lymph nodes all over his neck. The pediatrician said every day always look on collarbone, armpits then we can be worried if you find one. He is seeing a endocrinologist this Friday for falling off the growth chart. Still has swollen lymph nodes. 25# age 3. Never hungry, always cold. My whole family thinks I'm crazy and a helicopter mom for putting him through this appointment.
@@TripletMom21 Make sure you maintain your kid's vitamin D level normal. Low vitamin D no good, see dr John Campbell's videos. My family thought I was crazy taking my son to the hospital on his birthday for eye injury. Good thing I did or he would have lost his eye. Trust your got, don't care what others say.
I am so glad you shared the mental health aspect. A lot of people probably think you should be constantly happy because you survived. But it doesn’t work that way, especially when you lose so many friends. The PTSD and survivors guilt are very real and your advice on how to enjoy the small moments like walks is super helpful. You’re very articulate and sharing your story will help so many people!
Just think about what you eat! You hear these messages more and more I myself have the idea that it is caused by GMO food! it takes a while before something like this becomes visible, now people are really starting to get sick from it! I have the same disease as I just wrote above.
God have mercy on us all. everyone in my fam got the poke and treated me like a terrorist for warning against it. they also treated me like a terrorist for preaching Jesus before that haha
She's awesome. I don't know how she did it but she gave me a warm blanket feeling. (I needed that.) She has healing powers, for sure. I could have listened to her for a lot longer.
Yes, arthritis is a very frustrating disease to deal with... and the medications which help are hard on the kidneys. I use Tylenol, but limit the dosage to about two x-strength pills once a day.. avoid tomatoes at all costs.. tumeric helps, magnesium; but it's a hard disease to treat..
You are a beautiful young lady in every which way. I can only imagine how many people you have helped by explaining your honest emotions during your difficult journey. Sometimes things happen for a reason. You will get through this. Your strength, will be others strength.You're an angel. Thank your for sharing.
So glad your treatment was successful! You are an amazing young lady, and your testimony will surely help others. Praying for you. My former co-worker's daughter had this same symptom before her diagnosis with Hodgkins. It was also an Infectious Disease doctor who finally tested her based on the itching. She was a young teenager at the time, and has been in remission for almost 20 years!
Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2010, given weeks to live , told to go directly to hospice. Today is Oct 29 2024 She just had her 88th Birthday ! In short, Large doses of Tumeric w/ MCT Oil, Vitamin D3 as a blend, for her because of blockages , it was done rectally twice a day! So there is HOPE. This all was done under a naturopath DR. I thought at first she was being sold SNAKEOIL , but I saw the results……was rather Amazing to witness. It does take time……every treatment does
I am glad you still have your Mother that is a gift from GOD ,My mom died 5 mo ago from breast cancer she went in a month .When you have no parents the world is a cold place .They (my parents) were the only people on earth that loved me unconditionally !
Such a brave and smart young woman. I applaud you for the initiative you took to diagnose yourself but disgusted with our healthcare system in this country. Shame on them and the appalling system that rips people off with outrageous costs and for what? I will keep you in my prayers Amanda and hope you are able to live a long and healthy life 🙏🙏🙏
I am so proud of you!! You are smart and strong! I love it!! You did your own research and found out what was wrong and the adults did not know. Keep listening to your own intuition because YOU know. Thank you for inspiring others!!! You are a true leader!!
Thank You Amanda. My sister had early stage breast cancer and was able to get away with a lumpectomy, radiation and reconstructive surgery and she has been cancer free for the past 30 years thank god. I myself have always had annual mammograms and nothing was ever found until one year my left breast became extremely itchy for no obvious reason. It was constant all day every day and for about 4 months I put up with it and then finally went and saw my GP. I had a mammogram and they found a cyst, it wasn't cancer but just having a benign cyst triggered the itching in me. I continue to get my annual mammograms and am happy to report no incidence of cancer. I'm so glad you pushed and persevered to get a diagnosis and I hope you continue to be cancer free for the rest of your life.
Have you had your iodine level checked? Dr. David Brownstein has interviews on youtube and wrote a book regarding iodine deficiency. Every cell in our body needs iodine, especially glandular tissue, thyroid, breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, and salivary glands. Dr. Elizabeth Bright is also a wealth of information.
I had so much itching on my left breast, especially my nipple. Like crazy itching! Then, found a lump. Fast forward a few months, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Have you seen the recent information about the scans causing breast cancer . To get it every year is a risk in itself ! I know doctors won’t tell you this either . Just like an itchy breast is usually a sign of breast cancer . I just think of all my friends who lives were cut short by the recommendations by doctors too .yes we all much be vigilant for cancer but some of the testing and scans are creating problems too !
What a smart and strong young lady! So very Proud of you for being a fighter and willing to help other people who may face Cancer by telling your story. I am a Cancer survivor from 2017. I was diagnosed with Terminal Stage 4 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and given 60 Days to live! By Gods Graces, I am still here 7 years later. Thank the Good Lord for your healing Amanda every day. It’s a very precious gift. God Bless You
I had a very similar experience with the so-called medical professionals. So to keep this short, I developed a rare conditions called ‘Trigeminal neuralgia.’ This condition is a profoundly painful nerve condition that requires major surgery to correct. I suffered for a year being misdiagnosed, going to the emergency room and neurologist. Sick of the agony of watching me suffer, my wife ask me to describe my symptoms in detail as she searched the internet. After about 20 minutes she handed me a printout and said very confidently, you have “Trigreminal neuralgia.” The rest is history. You are a TROOPER! God is proud of your courage…
Amanda, you are amazing! Congratulations on diligently researching when the doctors failed you. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out! Thank you for posting this video. You are helping many people by describing your experiences. Best wishes for continued health and happiness. ❤️❤️❤️
You are a very strong & intelligent young woman. Making your own diagnosis while the doctors seem to be clueless. You’re amazing & absolutely gorgeous! You have a great life ahead of you.
Congratulations on getting through it all. What a tough thing to have to go through. I feel like your upbeat attitude is what helped you recover faster. You are beautiful and brave. Keep on winning.
No one knows your body better than YOU! Thank God you kept telling them something wasn't right! You have a strong spirit and a very strong will to live. God is with you Amanda!! We are praying for ❤❤YOU!! ❤❤
Unlike you I had a wonderful doctor who gave me three diagnoses and the one I did not want was the one I had, I am a fourteen year survivor praise the Lord. Thank you for your heartfelt journey.
God has the most amazing plans for your life…keep sharing your story! I am 5 year breast cancer survivor and can relate to all you’ve been through, having to diagnose myself, the torments of chemo and radiation, the survivor’s guilt and the ptsd, all of it…let this be your path to God and you be a Light for others, God bless you, I am praying for you❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was diagnosed with stage 3b hodgkins lymphoma and went through 12 cycles of chemo and radiation and am now in remission. It was terrible but saved my life. You got this!
This. This is why The Patient Story is such an important channel. It gives people important information so that they can advocate for themselves. Blessings to you Amanda 💛
Strong girl right there! As a Hodgkin survivor, I can relate. You’re gonna live a long, great life!!
My dad wound up being misdiagnosed for hodgkins back in 1974. He beat it though! So shall you!

My cousin got lymphoma but the rare one. He also had itching too. His fighting it…..
I had same symptoms and found out I was exposed to toxic mold. I moved out and got better.
Something isn't right here young people are getting cancer out of the blue it's got to be the food we eat or the products we use or both.
The fact that she diagnosed herself faster and more accurately than so-called doctors says a lot about pathetic state of the medical profession today.
I agree, and the fact that they told her that perhaps she needed to put some lotion on for the itch upsets me so much. I remember when I went to the hospital and told them that I feel pain in my entire body and that something was very wrong, the doctor told me, Oh, your young, maybe you need a vacation or something." Still yrs later, no one can tell me why my body is in pain, and they say, "Oh, I am not too concerned about it." No, because you aren't the one with Joint pains every day. I am the one suffering everyday.
The lady is this video had to do her own research to find out she had cancer, who knows where she'd be today if she hadn't helped herself. It's so scary.
She did not diagnose herself. She had nonspecific symptoms which match a myriad of illnesses in a differential diagnosis list. An oncologist is the only one who can diagnose cancer if we're strictly talking about evidence-based medicine.
Same is happening in France. Looks like doctors are not taking seriously the rise of cancers of all types in young generations
@@xaviergough9359 You talk so much like those who pushed the "safe and effective" . And, just like them, you are wrong. The so-called "evidence" in medicine is too often a set of rigid rules that do not take into account the specifics of every individual. No doctor will EVER know more about a patient's body than the patients themselves.
t's not just in the medical profession that people are incompetent today all professions have become incompetent people are just there to make money they no longer have professional skills those days are over
Doctors would you please start listening to your patients!!!!!!
it's not about listening to patients, it's about their incompetence! shame on these doctors who failed her.

My mom was 43 with 3 kids when she diagnosed with leukemia in 1994. They gave her less than 5 years. She said the first thing she did was pray to god and imagine that the meds worked and she was in remission. She turns 74 in February, has schizophrenia and blood clots in her heart, needs all her teeth removed, and says she wants to live as long as she can for us. There's power in positive thinking. Bless this beautiful young lady for her mindset and strength!
You’re such a brave young lady. May God bless you and keep you!
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏
May God continue to bless your mother and be with her to help live a long life in Jesus name I parlay Amen
Thanks for your testimony. Most schizophrenia is caused by viruses that many cats have
The level of incompetence in the medical field is astounding. It is unbelievable that a child had to diagnose herself!
veterinarians aren’t better either
My God so brave this child. Earth is hell, we are all doing Time, until we get paroled to our real home, far removed from this hellish reality.
May you somehow get a miracle and live a long beautiful Life.
When I lived in Iran, I got a stomach ulcer at 19 yo. As soon as I entered the doctor’s office and said “hi”, he looked at me and said “you are having internal bleeding!You probably have a stomach ulcer”. Literally just by looking at my face he knew what was wrong with me!!! Needless to say, he later confirmed it with an endoscopy.
But since I came to Canada, I have been brushed off by doctors many times because they are so incompetent. They failed to diagnose a HUGE uterine fibroid which was as big as a melon! How do you miss that?!!! 🤣
I ended up going to Iran to have the operation to remove it. Yeah here is the “advanced medical system” we have in the West.
I now diagnose myself before going to my appointment and just use the doctor to either write me a prescription or the diagnostic tests that I think that I need to confirm my diagnosis 😂
And you want to know what's not incompetent? The medical bills. Those show up right on time.
Anyone for that matter! But in the USA one has to be at stage 4 anything for a diagnosis. Too many variables like insurance levels $$$, the state one lives in, access to a real dr. who cares !
I had a history of heart disease. Nothing that pr healthcare suggested worked. I read a book 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett. The way it broke down the connection between lifestyle and heart disease finally made things click for me. A year later, my cholesterol is under control, and I feel stronger than ever. Don’t lose hope!
truly a good book
Agreed, very good book, but basically gives the same advice as physicians, eat well and be active
good try bot.
Hmmm? more and more actual competent research is finding that cholesterol isn't the cause. If I remember correctly, cholesterol is vital for your spine, brain cells and hormones.
Tired of bots glomming on to comments to promote their books
Thank you for sharing your journey. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma at 25. I was only 2 years old. Treatment in the 60's was Cobalt and radiation. It was brutal. She came to the point where she could've tolerate the treatments. She prayed that God would let her survive to raise the 3 children He had given her. She begged for 15 years. She lived till she was 69 years old. She was the best mom and blessed her grandchildren as the best Nanny! ❤❤

Precious. I'm so glad you had your Mom for so long.
My husband had Hodgkins at age 42. He had night sweats and was so weak and tired. He was diagnosed with stage 5 Hodgkins. The doctor said he had tumors ON his spinal column but not IN his spinal column, and she said that is what saved him. He received hefty doses of chemo, but 21 years later, he is alive.
OMG!!! That's a miracle! I'm so happy for you!
God bless you

As a nurse I have noticed that doctors are too busy typing into their computers to pay attention to you. I have to advocate for myself as far as my labs, diagnostic tests and meds.
They never stop listen to your heart lungs like back in the days even your intestines they would if it’s moving fine not now I had to tell them to please check my neck it’s always giving me an electric socks all the way down my chest my back hurts my shoulder even under my armpit have a cough for a month already, when back this new doctor did check everything I told her
You can thank OBAMA for the EHR - electronic health record

Similar situation with me, I had stage 4 inoperable head and neck cancer. I visited my family doctor for a year with same complaints of difficult to swallow and slight ear ache that never went away. Doctor checked my throat and ears took out some wax and said I didn’t have much room in my throat but it’s normal. After my 4th visit I left and the next day made an appointment with an ear nose and throat specialist and he diagnosed me within 5 minutes and made appointment next day for biopsy. I had a tumor the size of a medium egg at the base of my tongue and lymph nodes were swollen in my neck. God saved me six years out 🙏
I’m terrified I have something similar. Hoping I find the right doctor and courage
Is it true that a biopsy is basically remove of an entire lymph node?
@@Methequeen they took the biopsy from the base of the tongue. I didn’t even feel it during or after.

Is it god's decision who survives?
After being misdiagnosed for 3 years, my niece at the age of 40 died within 4 months, after eventually being diagnosed with stage 4 Mycosis Fungoides, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During the years that she was misdiagnosed she had multiple blood tests, scans, PET scan and biopsy’s, all of which apparently showed nothing…. She was also suffering from severe itching all over her body, and was being given various creams to use. I now have zero faith in the medical profession. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you many years of good health and enjoyment in your life. You are a very strong young lady!
So sorry that happened and for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢😢
Same here, i have no trust on the medication and doctors, sorry
I'm sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing your niece's story. I've never heard of her disease.
How did they finally figure out what your niece has? I’m having the same thing, all over body itchy, back pain, fatigue, labs is good, scan doesn’t show anything. Dermatologist just say I have eczema, but lotion just make me itch even more.
My cousin was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 29 in 1984 when they weren’t that hopeful. She underwent many surgeries, developed other types of cancers (bladder, thyroid), became a diabetic from one of the meds, but she was able to continue her career, met a great guy & got married. She lived a good life for 40 more years! We lost her this year at age 69, but it was far longer than anyone expected. ❤️
Yeyyyyy so pleased you had lots more time than originally thought 😊❤
Healthcare is such a joke. As a former nurse I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing your story
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This girl is an attention seeker who can literally turn off her immune system whenever she wants to.

It is actually a marketing bias for insurance companies that is a huge pharmaceutical industry for shareholders under an umbrella of medical supervision.
Also in sweden ,bad doctors.
Years ago, my almost 16 year old son was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. He was initially told he had asthma. He had a Hickman line. It was rough. Now he’s almost forty, and very healthy.
What was his symptoms
@ He coughed a lot and was short of breath. He had no energy. When the asthma medication wasn’t working, a smart doctor decided to X-ray his chest. The whole area was a mass of tumors. The doctors predicted that he would eventually develop asthma, but so far, he’s avoided it.
Auguro a tuo figlio una lunga vita serena, un abbraccio❤

My son in 2001 was diagnosed the same. He was 18 years old. Now he is 42, married with a beautiful little 3 year old daughter called Summer. He e lapsed three times in the first five years and ended up having a stem cell transpant. From 2006 he was getting stronger and has been cancer free now for nearly 20 years. A miracle but it shows how it can be beat. He was lucky as it took time for doctors discovered it but one day one went oh my and then the treatment began. I wish you well.going forward as you seem a really strong lovely young lady. Sending you positive vibes and good wishes.
Praise God for your son's healing! My nephew had a lump on his neck - Hodgkins. He went through chemo two times and the doctor suggested a Stem Cell transplant. That was a huge WOW moment, but pretty much guaranteed it would never come back. He used his own cells (another WOW moment) and is doing very well raising his twins with his wife. "We are fearfully and wonderfully made"!
My son was diagnosed with Hodgkins at 10 years old. His was stage 1. Now 39 years later he is doing great. So great to hear your story
My daughter had stage 1 also 2 xmas’s ago . Same very itchy and terrible night sweats ….. she had chemo for 3 months and so far it has not returned, I hope it never does. But it’s a worry. My daughter is now 43 and also has seizures from epilepsy, some people have bad luck she was told …. 😢 I hope your son never has to go through it again , as I wish the same for my daughter also….. 🙏🙏
You’re incredible. Oncology nurse for most of my career, I can say it’s people like you who kept me going and believing. It was an honor to care for every single patient. Thinking of the ones we lost and those like you who keep us hoping. Thank you for being such a bright light.
I had 7 months of itching before being diagnosed with Stage 2b Hodgkin's at 35. During that time, my dermatologist had suggested it could be Hodgkin's, and my primary care doctor ran the bloodwork, but it was normal. Finally a swollen lymph node in my neck became visible while I was having extreme fatigue and night sweats, and they biopsied it and diagnosed me. I'm glad you're doing well!
My sister had lumps all over and could not gain wait. Two doctors said she could feel the lumps just because she was so thin. Of coure, she had stage 4 cancer. the incompetence in the health care system is unbelievable.

Doctors need to listen to their patients. This is inexcusable!
Doctors are not gods.. the lymphoma Hodgkin or non Hodgkin have a lot of mixed symptoms, in any part of the body due to the lymphatic system.. some may appear as asthma or swollen extremities, even hair loss can be a symptom.. is not easy to diagnose that.. you go through the easiest diagnosis to the worst for obvious reasons

Same here last year I had horrible pain under my right rib, next to my liver. I went to see different doctors, they ordered different types of scanning and couldn't find anything. I went to google and searched for my self, and got to the conclusion that I had gallbladder stones. At the same time I got a shingles break out, because of all the stress caused by the gallbladder pain. I asked the doctor to prescribe me something for the shingles, to easy the pain and discomfort, he didn't. I called my sister in Costa Rica and she told me to ask the doctor to prescribe me a medication that is used for herpes. I called the doctor, and spoke to the nurse I told her that I was so mad, because I had been miserable in so much pain for a week with the shingles and that my doctor don't know what to prescribe. I demanded him to send an order to my pharmacy and take his profession very seriously 😅 I got my prescription and a few days later I got better; it helped stop the shingles spreading more. I don't know what is wrong with the doctors in this country. The only thing they know is charge our health insurance for killing their patients 😢

This story made me feel so much less alone!
My symptoms (large swollen left supraclavicular lymph node, itching, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats) started in February of 2023(end of my junior year) The doctor told me I had bartonella of all things! I had a gut feeling it was lymphoma all along, but felt dismissed. Things continued to get worse until November of 2023 I developed a fever and could hardly function from fatigue and back pain. I was sent to a larger hospital until eventually ending up in the children's oncology floor of a hospital 4 hours from home and finally diagnosed with stage 3 hodgkins lymphoma in multiple organs and wrapped around my spine. After months of treatment and hospital rooms, I can finally say I've been cancer free since March and am now graduated, married, working, and living a life I love. Recovery is a long road but God has gotten me through it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story❤️

I have been dealing with a movement disorder for over 20 years. Been to several major, well known hospitals/facilities. Just told good luck. No diagnosis, no treatment. I have use of no fingers, wrists, elbows or legs. But, you know, good luck, have a good life by so many well known doctors. Ridiculous!
They took a year and a half to diagnose my Hodgkins Disease, I went from doctor to doctor, all of whom came up with all sorts of wrong diagnosis. My Gp finally noticed a lump in my kneck, and a few days later Hodkins Disease was diagnosed. The chemo and radiation was terrible and had a severe psychological effect on me, which I took years to fully recover from.
That was 43 years ago, and it never came back. I am now 72 and have lived a full and enjoyable life, I am so grateful to those doctors all those years ago.
Of course, if you bring an idea to your doctor, they will be the first to dismiss it, because their egos are so large, there isn’t much room in their heads for others’ ideas. Pitiful.
Glad you’re okay.
What you said is so important because at my hospital we can get our records after we've seen the doctor and I always do and I have diagnosed all the problems I had from the covid vaccine and due to the fact that it was me who diagnosed them and me who saw them he doesn't even write it down. It's really bad because when I make a reference to another doctor I might see as to something that occurred to me what it was how it was solved he says there's no record of that in my medical records. God is going to become extremely aware that his ego was so big that my primary care doctor would never put down anything that I diagnosed and solved. That is criminal literally because there's no record of it and later doctors have no understanding that what I'm saying is actually true that it occurred and that actually is probably involved with what's occurring with me right then and there in their office. I always get a big feeling if they somewhat trust me because they know how doctors egos are so huge that unless they discover it they won't note it. But nevertheless I have no medical record of any of it.

@@christinecraft8890 What most, if not all of these personal testimonies have in common is the concurrent psychological trauma of navigating the western medicine system. Story after story include tales of patients being dismissed, treatment being deferred bc patients self-report of symptoms aren’t taken seriously only to have disease progress, and a suspicious amount of women having probably the toughest time being taken seriously. Medical training today is a business of turning out “hacks”, and not “critical thinkers”. So, this isn’t a matter of not utilizing medicine vs self-treating. I don’t know where you got that from. Rather, these stories provide “a wake up call”, to the greedy industrial complex of western medicine to maybe put patients first instead of profit. I’m not sure you synthesized these main themes from these personal and vulnerable stories.
From a doctor diagnosing someone as simply being anemic to a test proving she had stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma is a pretty major leap. Almost a criminal primary diagnosis if you ask me. Truly an incredible story!
Brave young lady, keep strong.
I agreed. I’m totally no expert, but it sounds like malpractice.
I have been dealing with very similar. Primary & rheumatologist say 🤷♀️. Ok…then what is wrong with me. Figure it out. It shouldn’t be my responsibility to say “ok, what’s the next step” or to search the Internet & read medical white pages. I’m almost 50, wake with joint aches (hands, feet & knees primarily). Had handle/wrist & foot/ankle ultra sound to check for arthritis. None.
I have narcolepsy & take adderall; 3 times a day (total daily mg consumed is 68.75 mg). This morning I took my first 25 mg dose & 30 min later could physically not keep my eyes open so took a 1-1/2 hr nap. Took my second 25 mg dose around 1:00 pm & was so completely exhausted, couldn’t keep eyes open so took another 1+ hour nap. I get approx 7+ hrs sleep every night.
My skin is constantly itchy esp upper back around the shoulder blades. Upper back is the most intense, all consuming itching I have ever had. Worse than shingles. It’s ALWAYS in the exact same area & it feels really deep (not surface itch). I’ve been told it’s prob a fascia bound area but I get a 90 min therapeutic myofascial release massage every 2-3 weeks; been doing that for the past 10 yrs. NOT a feel good spa massage. I have swollen lymph nodes under my jaw line & I’ve been anemic in blood work the last 3 years. I take iron pills daily.
I think that it's not bad that they initially diagnosed her with that, the problem is they didn't do the tests earlier to rule it out sooner. It is a massive failure that she was a textbook case of symptoms after that the doctors disregarded and then looped back to anaemia despite medication not being effective at that point and acting like there was no alternative.
And they are paying for this incompetence too. Disgusting the casual dismissal.
My son was diagnosed with mononucleosis,cysts, cat scratch syndrome and tuberculosis before finally 6 months later finding out he had stage 2 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma at 6 years old. He went through 2 years of chemotherapy. He had all the symptoms of non Hodgkin so I was confused as to why he was misdiagnosed for so long by so many doctors.

Same for my friend. He 25 and literally had the same symptoms as you, including the back pain. Spent months getting seen and no one could figure it out because they kept trying to only look at his symptoms individually, rather than group them together.

My doctor refuses to acknowledge the fact that I had any of the problems I said and that I saw them as well. That's the arrogance and the ignorance of the medical profession. Keep up the good work
@1timeslime971 i had the booster and a few months later I had polycythemia vera a blood cancer....i have had one health issue after health issue after 2 shots and a booster. My work made me get the shots.
Girl, you are a true fighter. ❤❤❤
What an amazing well spoken young lady! Best wishes for continued health.
she was wonderful to speak with on and off camera :)
God Bless you❤
I am glad your still with us.❤
My husband had Hodgkins Lymphoma. It can be treated with a 90% plus remission rate. Blessings to you. 🙏
May I ask what stage your husband was diagnosed?
Listen to your bodies ,you know it best!
I was diagnosed aged 42 ,no classic symptoms but i had a grape sized soft painless lump in one groin, after many tests,scans,biopsies ,i was diagnosed with stage 4 advanced to bone marrow non hodgkins Lymphoma,there are 100 sub types of this and mine is incurable but ive been fighting 8 years so far.
I wish you all the very best.💜
Praying for complete healing for you! May God use you as a miracle!
Thank you 🙏
positive thoughts for you💜i am soo sorry you have been desling with this😭
@shirliestratton7790 Thank you very much. 🙏
It's not been an easy ride for sure, i lost my mother as a child, she was 42 with 3 young children,she had cancer then my sister died at 42 and my dad, then i got diagnosed but each one of us all had different cancers.. Unreal! 😢
@@shirliestratton7790It didnt tag u in my reply sorry
You are a miracle ❤ may God bless your family and you ,and keep you clean of cancer
I'm sure I speak for everyone who watched your story, that you are wise beyond your age. I believe God has a plan for all of us, and your time was not finished here. Praying that you stay positive and shine your inspiration on everyone. Good luck! 🩷
❤️❤️🙏
❤❤❤
Totally agree. She’s wise beyond her years, so emotionally intelligent & wise & has a truly beautiful & engaging personality. I’m sure she’s destined for great things. A truly special girl!
I wish she wise beyond her age, but I don’t believe there is a God. If there is one, it is a masochistic God to allow the suffering of the animals and the children on this planet and standby and do nothing.
Amen!!❤🙏🥰
I’ve read that roughly 95% of cancer patients that are in remission struggle with the fear of the cancer returning.
I haven’t made it to remission yet, but praying it’s on the way!
Praying 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Many of us don't worry about it returning. You have to live your life like nothing happened and don't give it another thought. When you are in remission think of yourself as cured! I am a 22 year breast cancer survivor and I do not consider myself in remission I consider myself cured!
🙏🙏
Fastest way to free cancer cells! Lot of sun, no sugar drink herbal teas, clove tea dandelion teas ect. Fast no food for 2 weeks straight no sugar at all for 30 days! Do your reasearch and meditate .
Send you blessings
My friend beat colon cancer. But, she always said that when you have had cancer, a part of you always waits for it to come back. Glad you are living your life! 👏
Everyday I wonder if and when it will return.
You and I have a similar story...I ended up getting a stem cell transplant 2 years after my diagnosis. Now I am 14 years and have been declared cured. I pray for your health! I kept a smile on my face and I am so proud of you for your strength!
How did you do that? Where?
I have no words to describe my reaction to this. You have been remarkably strong and resilient. Your story really shows how important it is to advocate for your health. You are teaching this 64 year old some improtant lessons today. Thank you!!
Crying. Definitely a hero!!!! May you never be faced with something like this again.
we can all take something from her story!
YOU ARE AN AMZING YOUNG LADY. YOU WOULD BE A GREAT DR. I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR INTELLIGENCE, KINDNESS AND MATURITY.
My daughter at 16 was diagnosed also with stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She had an enlarged lymph node by her collar bone. Took her to the pediatrician who said it was from a cold. Fast forward 6mos, 4 office visits and a demand for labs and a chest X-ray and we end up at CHOP, she had a mass in her chest. 6 months of hell passed and she is now a very healthy 23yr old.
One of my triplets has had swollen lymph nodes all over his neck. The pediatrician said every day always look on collarbone, armpits then we can be worried if you find one. He is seeing a endocrinologist this Friday for falling off the growth chart. Still has swollen lymph nodes. 25# age 3. Never hungry, always cold. My whole family thinks I'm crazy and a helicopter mom for putting him through this appointment.
Always go with your mom instincts. @@TripletMom21
@@TripletMom21 Make sure you maintain your kid's vitamin D level normal. Low vitamin D no good, see dr John Campbell's videos. My family thought I was crazy taking my son to the hospital on his birthday for eye injury. Good thing I did or he would have lost his eye. Trust your got, don't care what others say.
@@TripletMom21 don't listen to them!!
Good for you for not giving up and advocating for yourself. You searched and figured it out for yourself. Praying for you!
a very smart girl!
Your strength of character and the calmness with which you tell your story is inspirational. I wish you a happy and long life..
I’m an adult and can tell you that that bone pain is absolutely terrible for me and so I cannot imagine it being worse. You are incredibly strong.
I am so glad you shared the mental health aspect. A lot of people probably think you should be constantly happy because you survived. But it doesn’t work that way, especially when you lose so many friends. The PTSD and survivors guilt are very real and your advice on how to enjoy the small moments like walks is super helpful. You’re very articulate and sharing your story will help so many people!
Just be you and fuck everyone else.
You are a beautiful young lady!! I wish you all the best on a full recovery!!
You, dear girl, are a star !!💕
yes she is!
She has such a beautiful spirit. Even in the middle of her pain and trials, she maintains a smile and pleasant spirit.
Never heard of so many young people with cancer and passing away!! good grief!!!
One because of the junk chemicals or whatever they're putting in foods 😢😢. And I don't trust none of this medicine
🐑💉🧪🧬🦠⏱💣💥
Just think about what you eat! You hear these messages more and more I myself have the idea that it is caused by GMO food! it takes a while before something like this becomes visible, now people are really starting to get sick from it! I have the same disease as I just wrote above.
God have mercy on us all. everyone in my fam got the poke and treated me like a terrorist for warning against it. they also treated me like a terrorist for preaching Jesus before that haha
Yes my son was diagnosed at 32 with stage 4 colon cancer died 3 weeks ago 8 years of horrific pain etc
You are a warrior sweetie.Hold onto your faith.
Keep fighting. There are people in this world that absolutely need and love you.
YES!!
You are so brave.. Doctors need to listen to their patients!
Sweetie, you are half way through your medical career. 😊 Wishing you strength and a complete recovery.!🥰
You’re a very strong young lady. Congratulations stay strong and chase after your dreams
Prayers for your continued good health. So sad that you had to diagnose yourself. May your life be wonderful going forward!
Thank you for sharing your story, Amanda. You are such a positive light and inspiration. Sending hugs and prayers your way 💗
thank you for sending her well wishes!
She's awesome. I don't know how she did it but she gave me a warm blanket feeling. (I needed that.) She has healing powers, for sure. I could have listened to her for a lot longer.
thanks for listening to her story!
I have severe osteoarthritis and bone pain is so bad and debilitating. People just don’t understand 😢. You are inspiring!
I have that too! I need a new knee and shoulder from the arthritus. Its awful!
Yes, arthritis is a very frustrating disease to deal with... and the medications which help are hard on the kidneys. I use Tylenol, but limit the dosage to about two x-strength pills once a day.. avoid tomatoes at all costs.. tumeric helps, magnesium; but it's a hard disease to treat..
Praying for miraculous healing and speedy recovery for all sick people🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
You are a beautiful young lady in every which way. I can only imagine how many people you have helped by explaining your honest emotions during your difficult journey. Sometimes things happen for a reason. You will get through this. Your strength, will be others strength.You're an angel. Thank your for sharing.
such a kind comment- thank you!
So glad your treatment was successful! You are an amazing young lady, and your testimony will surely help others. Praying for you. My former co-worker's daughter had this same symptom before her diagnosis with Hodgkins. It was also an Infectious Disease doctor who finally tested her based on the itching. She was a young teenager at the time, and has been in remission for almost 20 years!
YOU GO GIRLIE!!!! God's got you!!!!
What a strong intelligent woman She diagnosed herself Hope she has a long life Also write a book about her life
You have a beautiful caring soul. May our higher being grant you long health and fulfill the desires of your heart. 🙏
Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2010, given weeks to live , told to go directly to hospice. Today is Oct 29 2024 She just had her 88th Birthday ! In short, Large doses of Tumeric w/ MCT Oil, Vitamin D3 as a blend, for her because of blockages , it was done rectally twice a day! So there is HOPE. This all was done under a naturopath DR. I thought at first she was being sold SNAKEOIL , but I saw the results……was rather Amazing to witness. It does take time……every treatment does
How wonderful ........
I am glad you still have your Mother that is a gift from GOD ,My mom died 5 mo ago from breast cancer she went in a month .When you have no parents the world is a cold place .They (my parents) were the only people on earth that loved me unconditionally !
This is amazing. You and she need to write a book to help others.
@@Gigi-o3kshe did
Can you tell me a little more how all this medication worked for your mom? Tks
Such a brave and smart young woman. I applaud you for the initiative you took to diagnose yourself but disgusted with our healthcare system in this country. Shame on them and the appalling system that rips people off with outrageous costs and for what? I will keep you in my prayers Amanda and hope you are able to live a long and healthy life 🙏🙏🙏
she is currently NED!
I am so proud of you!! You are smart and strong! I love it!! You did your own research and found out what was wrong and the adults did not know. Keep listening to your own intuition because YOU know. Thank you for inspiring others!!! You are a true leader!!
I admire your courage through the process of healing. I hope and pray you'll be cancer free and live longer, happily and fully. Don't lose faith!❤
she is currently NED!
WE know our bodies best. WE must be our best advocates. You are amazing, and I wish you nothing but the best! ❤
Oh my Lord !!! This is a heartbreaking story. God bless you and all the very best. ❤🙏🍀
Thank You Amanda. My sister had early stage breast cancer and was able to get away with a lumpectomy, radiation and reconstructive surgery and she has been cancer free for the past 30 years thank god. I myself have always had annual mammograms and nothing was ever found until one year my left breast became extremely itchy for no obvious reason. It was constant all day every day and for about 4 months I put up with it and then finally went and saw my GP. I had a mammogram and they found a cyst, it wasn't cancer but just having a benign cyst triggered the itching in me. I continue to get my annual mammograms and am happy to report no incidence of cancer. I'm so glad you pushed and persevered to get a diagnosis and I hope you continue to be cancer free for the rest of your life.
Have you had your iodine level checked? Dr. David Brownstein has interviews on youtube and wrote a book regarding iodine deficiency. Every cell in our body needs iodine, especially glandular tissue, thyroid, breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, and salivary glands. Dr. Elizabeth Bright is also a wealth of information.
I had so much itching on my left breast, especially my nipple. Like crazy itching! Then, found a lump. Fast forward a few months, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
@@jwhite5396 No I haven't but will check out Dr. Brownstein. Thanks
Have you seen the recent information about the scans causing breast cancer . To get it every year is a risk in itself ! I know doctors won’t tell you this either . Just like an itchy breast is usually a sign of breast cancer . I just think of all my friends who lives were cut short by the recommendations by doctors too .yes we all much be vigilant for cancer but some of the testing and scans are creating problems too !
@@courtneysmithtriathlonyeah that’s usually what happens with the breast itchyness , never something to ignore
What a smart and strong young lady! So very Proud of you for being a fighter and willing to help other people who may face Cancer by telling your story.
I am a Cancer survivor from 2017. I was diagnosed with Terminal Stage 4 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and given 60 Days to live! By Gods Graces, I am still here 7 years later.
Thank the Good Lord for your healing Amanda every day. It’s a very precious gift.
God Bless You
How did you survive it? What did you do/Take/eat?
Big gj on beating this cancer.
❤ great to hear you are doing ok 😊
I had a very similar experience with the so-called medical professionals. So to keep this short, I developed a rare conditions called ‘Trigeminal neuralgia.’
This condition is a profoundly painful nerve condition that requires major surgery to correct. I suffered for a year being misdiagnosed, going to the emergency room and neurologist. Sick of the agony of watching me suffer, my wife ask me to describe my symptoms in detail as she searched the internet. After about 20 minutes she handed me a printout and said very confidently, you have “Trigreminal neuralgia.” The rest is history. You are a TROOPER! God is proud of your courage…
It ain’t rare if it’s in your chair! It’s been a motto I’ve lived with as a Dr over 40 years.
I hope you’ve spread that wisdom to the young guns!
Amanda, you are amazing! Congratulations on diligently researching when the doctors failed you. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out! Thank you for posting this video. You are helping many people by describing your experiences. Best wishes for continued health and happiness. ❤️❤️❤️
You are a very strong & intelligent young woman. Making your own diagnosis while the doctors seem to be clueless. You’re amazing & absolutely gorgeous! You have a great life ahead of you.
Your such a sweet girl, the world is blessed to still have you in it ❤
yes she is!
Amanda, you are a warrior. I wish you all the best.
Congratulations on getting through it all. What a tough thing to have to go through. I feel like your upbeat attitude is what helped you recover faster. You are beautiful and brave. Keep on winning.
No one knows your body better than YOU! Thank God you kept telling them something wasn't right! You have a strong spirit and a very strong will to live. God is with you Amanda!! We are praying for ❤❤YOU!! ❤❤
Unlike you I had a wonderful doctor who gave me three diagnoses and the one I did not want was the one I had, I am a fourteen year survivor praise the Lord. Thank you for your heartfelt journey.
Such an encouraging person with an extremely big heart. This is an amazing brave girl.
God has the most amazing plans for your life…keep sharing your story! I am 5 year breast cancer survivor and can relate to all you’ve been through, having to diagnose myself, the torments of chemo and radiation, the survivor’s guilt and the ptsd, all of it…let this be your path to God and you be a Light for others, God bless you, I am praying for you❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was diagnosed with stage 3b hodgkins lymphoma and went through 12 cycles of chemo and radiation and am now in remission. It was terrible but saved my life. You got this!
😊❤ great to hear 👏 💪
@natscat4752 how's it going so far
@@blakebunyard6716 me? I am ok thanks. Just had a few folk with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin in my life so I love to hear of people doing well 😁
What a brave woman, you have such strength of character, and are a real inspiration to people going through struggles at present
